Seriously M.A., you left. Put 9e behind you and enjoy your new job. It'll do wonders for your blood pressure. I know I would!

I was speaking moreso about the unprofitable contracts that management bid for knowing full well that they were unsustainable. I think that if we were not losing airframes/flying because of managements poor decisions more people's blood pressure would be lower.

How are you losing your left seat? You said previously you're an 07 hire. The only way you're downgrading is if you were one of the guys that flunked training. I was just in the MEM crew hotel talking to a group of colgan guys, they were all good dudes with the exception of one, an '07 colgan hire whining about his top 20 JFK 200 CA line likely not being commutable enough. I'm a 9E early '07 hire, and I bid top 25 as an FO... For what its worth, the other colgan guys seem to dislike that individual...

Where have you been?? Only supposedly 75 Colgan CAs will be able to hold left seat in jet once all of Colgan goes away, so most everyone before 05 hire date will be a CA, so most 05 and after guys will be FO again.

Apparently out of the loop. Playing gliders all week, can't even remember how to get into ops. Love it.

Not getting much sympathy. There were already 04 Mesaba hires on the last shuffle that are on the way back to the right seat.

Dude we're not asking for sympathy! Were did you read that? Your comprehension level must be horrible cause I was telling the other guy that just because your going back as an FO doesnt mean you failed the ride.
